> You wouldn't write a web frontend in Java (not anymore)

Bit of a nitpick, but: GWT enables this, transpiling to JavaScript. Rumours of its death have been somewhat exaggerated (it's maintained but it's not getting that much attention). I'm not sure if Vaadin still makes use of GWT.

There is now J2CL which translates java into javascript (superfast). gmail and google sheets is written in GWT.

I bought into GWT back in 2010 maybe. I was sold on the idea of just using one language, and I was wrong.

I really regret not diving into proper html+css+js sooner.

Yeah that's what I was referring to by "not anymore".

Got it, I thought you were referring to the demise of Java applets.

Than I would rather use TeaVM with some wrappers.
